Signature Album

The quintessential album. This pagemount style design has seamless binding, which allows an image to span uninterrupted across the entire spread. The default and recommended dimension is 9” x 12”, as it provides the ideal aspect ratios for both portrait orientation (on a single page) and landscape orientation (across the entire spread). Printed on archival-grade paper with a subtle and pleasing lustre. All Signature Albums are hand-made in the USA.

Spreads

Album size is usually discussed in terms of spreads. A spread is made when an album is open and images “spread” across the two visible pages. The base Signature Album comes with 12 spreads (24 pages). The number of images displayed on a single spread varies between 1-10 images. Additional spreads can be added for $75/spread, up to an album maximum of 30 spreads (60 pages).

Cover

All Signature Albums are hardcover bound. Linen is the default option, with leather an optional upgrade. Both linen and leather come in a variety of colors and are selected as part of the design process. Notably, all covers include custom debossing of your names at no extra charge. Client-provided graphic designs (decorative elements, family crest, etc.) can also be included as part of the debossing (some restrictions apply).

Image Selection

The “favorite” feature of your online gallery makes image selection a breeze. Once your order is submitted, I will create an “album” category for you to add favorites to. I will pull most, if not all, of the images in your album design from this favorite list. 

Design Process / Ordering

The album design process is collaborative. After your order is submitted I will reach out to schedule our first design consultation. This is where we will review everything from cover swatches to debossing artwork. My goal is to create an album you are absolutely in love with.
